Malcolm Todd brings the Do That Again Tour to Australia in May 2027, his first headline tour of the country in large venues. Seven shows are confirmed across four cities: the Riverstage in Brisbane on Wednesday 12 May, two nights at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 14 and 15 May, two at Festival Hall in Melbourne on 17 and 18 May, and two at Perth HPC on 21 and 22 May. Tickets have been on sale since Friday 18 September 2026.
The Los Angeles singer-songwriter, born Malcolm Todd Hobert in 2003, is one of the fastest-rising names to tour Australia in 2027. He went viral on TikTok in 2023 with 'Art House' and 'Roommates', released his self-titled debut album in 2025, and in 2026 his older track 'Earrings' became a global sleeper hit while his second album, Do That Again, reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 in Australia.
Because his career is so recent, his concert history in Australia and New Zealand is short: the documented shows all date from February 2026, when he played the Laneway Festival and a handful of club sideshows. This page sets out what that history contains, what is confirmed for 2027 and how the ticketing works, without filling the gaps with guesswork.
Todd announced the Do That Again Tour on 8 June 2026, three days after the album's release. It opened on 2 September 2026 in Irving, Texas, and runs through North America, Asia and Europe before the Oceania leg, which closes the whole tour in Perth on 22 May 2027.
The Australian run starts outdoors on Wednesday 12 May 2027 at the Riverstage, the open-air amphitheatre in Brisbane's City Botanic Gardens. Sydney follows with Friday 14 and Saturday 15 May at the Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park, then Melbourne with Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 May at Festival Hall in West Melbourne. Perth closes the tour with Friday 21 and Saturday 22 May at Perth HPC in Mount Claremont.
Three of the four cities have two nights, which says a lot about demand for an artist whose only previous Australian shows were festival slots and three club and theatre sideshows. Brisbane has a single night, but at the Riverstage, the largest venue on the tour with a capacity of about 9,500.
As of 9 October 2026 there is no New Zealand date, even though Todd played Auckland and Wellington in February 2026, and no Adelaide show. No support act has been announced for the Australian leg. Any additions will be reflected on this page.
The Riverstage is an open-air amphitheatre in Brisbane's City Botanic Gardens, opened on 7 September 1989 and inspired by a temporary stage used at World Expo 88. Owned by Brisbane City Council, it holds about 9,500 people and hosted Powderfinger's final show in November 2010.
The Hordern Pavilion opened in 1924 in Moore Park, Sydney, and holds about 5,500 people. Over the years it has hosted concerts, dance parties and championship boxing, including fights featuring Jeff Fenech.
Festival Hall opened in 1913 on Dudley Street, West Melbourne, as a boxing venue known as 'the House of Stoush'. Rebuilt after a 1955 fire in time for the 1956 Olympics, it hosted the Beatles in 1964, holds about 5,400 people and has been operated by Live Nation since 2023.
Perth HPC (Perth High Performance Centre) opened in 1986 as the Superdome in Mount Claremont, west of central Perth, and was later known as Challenge Stadium and HBF Stadium. Its main arena seats about 4,500 and the complex also includes an Olympic-standard aquatic centre.
Wednesday 12 May 2027 — Riverstage, Brisbane. This is the opening night of the run.
Friday 14 May 2027 — Hordern Pavilion, Sydney. This is show 1 of the 2-night stand here. The artist's most recent documented Sydney show was at Roundhouse on 10 February 2026.
Monday 17 May 2027 — Festival Hall, Melbourne. 2 nights are booked at Festival Hall; this is number 1. In Melbourne, the last documented Malcolm Todd concert was at Dean Turner Stage (13 February 2026).
Friday 21 May 2027 — Perth HPC, Perth. 2 nights are booked at Perth HPC; this is number 1. The artist's most recent documented Perth show was at Arena Joondalup on 15 February 2026. This venue closes the tour.
Malcolm Todd's documented concert history in Australia and New Zealand is brief, and it all comes from a single trip. The setlist archive has no shows in the region before 2026. That is not surprising: he played his first ever live show in July 2023, a sold-out night at Winston House in Venice, Los Angeles, and spent 2024 touring North America, partly as the opening act for Omar Apollo's God Said No World Tour.
His first visit came with Laneway Festival in February 2026. Before the festival started, he played a club show at Meow Nui in Wellington on 4 February 2026, a 23-song set that ran through most of his catalogue, from 'Harry Styles' and 'Make Me a Better Man' to 'Chest Pain (I Love)' and 'Roommates'. The next day he played Laneway in Auckland at Western Springs Stadium.
The Laneway run continued at Southport Sharks on the Gold Coast on 7 February and Centennial Park in Sydney on 8 February. Between festival days he headlined two sideshows: the Roundhouse at UNSW in Sydney on Tuesday 10 February and the Northcote Theatre in Melbourne on Wednesday 11 February 2026, both with the same long 23-song set as Wellington.
He then rejoined Laneway for its Melbourne day at Flemington on 13 February (logged under the Dean Turner Stage), Adelaide Showground on 14 February and Arena Joondalup in Perth on 15 February 2026. The archive also logs a two-song triple j studio session dated 30 April 2026, which is not counted as a concert.
That is the whole record: ten appearances in eleven days, of which three were headline shows. The 2027 tour therefore marks his first headline concerts in Brisbane and Perth, and his first in venues of more than a few thousand people anywhere in the region. The festival crowds of February 2026 heard 'Earrings' as the opening song of his Laneway sets, the track that went on to become his biggest hit.

Across the 7 most recent documented Australia/NZ concerts with a full song list (4 February 2026 to 14 February 2026), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Todd's only Australian and New Zealand festival so far is Laneway 2026, which Chappell Roan headlined. He played all six dates: Western Springs in Auckland (5 February), Southport Sharks on the Gold Coast (7 February), Centennial Park in Sydney (8 February), Flemington in Melbourne (13 February), Adelaide Showground (14 February) and Arena Joondalup in Perth (15 February 2026). His festival sets were around eight to thirteen songs, opening with 'Earrings' and closing with 'Leave It All to Me' and 'Roommates'.
Malcolm Todd Hobert was born on 15 September 2003 in Los Angeles and grew up in the Palisades neighbourhood. His father, Tim Hobert, was a co-executive producer on the sitcom The Middle, and his sister, Audrey Hobert, is also a singer-songwriter. He taught himself bass during the pandemic, moved on to guitar, and began writing and producing with his friend Charlie Ziman, releasing the EP Demos Before Prom in 2022. He skipped a place at the University of Oregon to focus on music.
'Art House' and 'Roommates' went viral on TikTok in 2023 and led to a deal with Columbia Records. Both songs appeared on his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy, which also included 'Earrings'. His self-titled debut album came out on 4 April 2025; 'Chest Pain (I Love)' became his first Billboard Hot 100 entry, and a deluxe edition, Malcolm Todd (still), lifted the album to a new peak of No. 49 in the United States. In Australia the album reached No. 61.
In 2026 'Earrings' became a sleeper hit two years after its release, reaching No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top 40 in the United Kingdom and Canada. His second album, Do That Again, released on 5 June 2026 and preceded by the singles 'Breathe' and 'I Saw Your Face', went to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 in Australia.
Todd's music mixes indie pop with alternative R&B and the looser sound of bedroom pop. He has named Steve Lacy, Omar Apollo, Dominic Fike and Ryan Beatty as influences and has said he likes using unusual chords to make his songs stand out. Apollo appears on 'Bleed', one of the singles from the 2025 album.
| Album | Year | AUS chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Sweet Boy (mixtape) | 2024 | — |
| Malcolm Todd | 2025 | AUS 61 |
| Do That Again | 2026 | AUS 3 |
In February 2026 Malcolm Todd was one name among dozens on the Laneway poster, and his own Sydney show that month was at the Roundhouse, a university venue. Fifteen months later he returns to the city for two nights at the Hordern Pavilion, a room of about 5,500 that has hosted touring acts since the 1920s.
The jump reflects what happened in between: 'Earrings' crossing over to radio and streaming, and Do That Again debuting at No. 3 on the ARIA chart. Sydney's two shows fall on a Friday and Saturday, the most sought-after nights of the run.
Melbourne gets two weeknight shows, Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 May 2027, at Festival Hall in West Melbourne. The hall opened in 1913 as a boxing venue, earned the nickname 'the House of Stoush', was rebuilt after a fire in time for the 1956 Olympics, and hosted the Beatles in 1964. It has been run by Live Nation as a concert venue since 2023.
His only previous Melbourne headline show was at the Northcote Theatre on 11 February 2026, a few days before Laneway at Flemington. The Northcote set ran to 23 songs, and there is every reason to expect a similar length in 2027, built around the newer album.
Brisbane is the one city where Todd has never played a headline show, and it is also the one city with a single night. Instead of a hall, the tour opens at the Riverstage in the City Botanic Gardens, an outdoor amphitheatre opened in 1989 with room for about 9,500 people, where the crowd sits or stands on grass and concrete.
Mid-May is usually mild in Brisbane, but the Riverstage is uncovered, so check the weather before you go. In February 2026 Laneway moved its Queensland date from Brisbane to the Gold Coast, which is why his only previous Queensland appearance was at Southport Sharks rather than in the city.
Perth has the tour's final two shows, Friday 21 and Saturday 22 May 2027, at Perth HPC in Mount Claremont. The venue, opened in 1986 as the Superdome and later known as Challenge Stadium and HBF Stadium, took its current name in January 2025; its main arena seats about 4,500 for basketball and netball.
These are the last dates of the whole Do That Again Tour, which began in Texas in September 2026. Todd's only previous Perth appearance was a Laneway set at Arena Joondalup on 15 February 2026, so the closing weekend will be his first headline concerts in Western Australia.
Todd's headline sets in the region have been long for an artist with two albums and a mixtape. At Meow Nui, the Roundhouse and the Northcote Theatre in February 2026 he played 23 songs, opening with 'Harry Styles', 'Make Me a Better Man' and 'Bleed', moving through 'Earrings', 'Sweet Boy', 'Starstudded' and 'Original', and finishing with 'Chest Pain (I Love)', 'I Do', 'I'll Come Back For You' and 'Roommates'.
The 2027 shows come after the release of Do That Again, so the new songs are likely to take a bigger share of the set; 'I Saw Your Face' was one of the two songs he performed in a triple j studio session in April 2026. 'Earrings', now his biggest hit, and 'Roommates', the song that started his career, have been fixtures of every documented show in the region.
Tickets for all seven Australian dates have been on sale since Friday 18 September 2026, through the official ticketing outlets for each venue and the venues' own box offices. No presale is listed for this leg. As of 9 October 2026 the shows are on sale and no further dates have been announced.
